GNU Linux-libre 6.1 is out! I've pushed the .deb and .rpm updates, which should become visible in a package manager near you once the mirrors sync. https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ This will be a long-term support (LTS) kernel but, in a change from the past, I'll leave the linux-libre-lts package tracking the 5.15 series until 6.2 comes out in February. I think this will be the general process going forward as it provides time for the newly released version to stabilize before making it LTS. #GNU#linux
#GNU #Linux-libre https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/ because, unlike Torvalds' and K-H's distributions of #Linux, every one of its pieces respects users' essential software freedoms, and because it doesn't mislead anyone into believing a nonfree kernel is a whole operating system
ricardo, bacana você se preocupar com isso. a campanha de desinformação para esconder ou domar nossa luta pela liberdade no meio digital é bastante prejudicial e a questão é muito mais importante do que a maior parte das pessoas se dá conta.
mas ainda que seja uma questão de desinformação com impacto na liberdade de todos nós, é também uma questão de liberdade de expressão de posição política. embora eu discorde da posição de quem, por ignorância ou má fé, toma o lado dos exploradores e da falsa liberdade que impulsionam o #linux, em detrimento da defesa das liberdades dos usuários que move o #gnu, não me parece adequado censurar a expressão dessa posição, ainda que ela seja hostil à nossa luta.
dada essa posição de não-censura, resta-nos aproveitar a oportunidade que ela nós dá: a maior parte das pessoas que embarca no discurso pseudoapolítico da maioria e chama o sistema de linux o faz não por uma vontade de suprimir a luta pela liberdade, mas por ter acreditado nas versões ou de que nossa luta é indesejável, ou de que o linux a representa. cada menção injusta e potencialmente desinformada nos dá uma oportunidade de informar não só ao interlocutor, ignorante ou malicioso, mas aos demais participantes da conversa, entre os quais sempre há de haver pessoas dispostas a aprender, a perceber que não estão representadas pela posição majoritária, que nem é neutra mas tenta se passar como tal, e assim se somar à nossa luta
you could share files between computers made to run only linux, by writing and loading kernel modules that used any of the many layers of networking protocols implemented in it.
now, if you meant #GNU or Android operating system userlands, both of which run on top of the kernel #Linux you named (according to its own primary author, by itself the kernel gets you nowhere), many options are available: copying files around with rsync/ssh, sftp/scp; making filesystems available with nfs, samba/cifs, sshfs; sharing filesystems with ceph, gcluster; replicating storage or accessing remote storage with nbd/rbd; sending and receiving files manually over torrents, GNU jami, ...
there are so many things you might mean by "file share" that there's no way to make a single recommendation of best practices, it really depends on what you're trying to do
200+ #npm and #pypi packages caught dropping #Linux cryptominers.
> These packages are largely typosquats of widely used libraries and each one of them downloads a Bash script on Linux systems that run cryptominers.
> It appears that both registries cleared the typosquats fairly quickly from their platforms before these could do more harm to developers.
This appears to be a characteristic behavior of #monero / #xmr #cryptocurrency users. This is by no means the first wave of mining attacks against servers.
> Researchers have unearthed a discovery that doesn’t occur all that often in the realm of malware: a mature, never-before-seen Linux backdoor that uses novel evasion techniques to conceal its presence on infected servers, in some cases even with a forensic investigation.
> On Thursday, researchers from Intezer and The BlackBerry Threat Research & Intelligence Team said that the previously undetected backdoor combines high levels of access with the ability to scrub any sign of infection from the file system, system processes, and network traffic. Dubbed Symbiote, it targets financial institutions in Brazil and was first detected in November.

Tatu Ylönen - Linux using inventor of SSH (or openSHH) changed the IT-world.
Mr. Ylönen solved the password sniffing trouble of internet to start with.
Tatu Ylönen (Lic.Sc.) is another Finnish inventor, next to the likes of Jarkko Oikarinen (IRC), Linus Torvalds (Linux), Matti Makkonen (SMS), Monty Widenius (MariaDB, MySQL), etc.
Looked at the #Linux tag on #Diaspora again. @linux has posted 13 posts in about 2.5 hours (12 article links + a daily round-up link). Of course you know it is Tuxmachines, part of Roy's kingdom of article factories.
This is why I rarely ever log in there anymore. Very few actual people, zillions of linkbots churning out article links in popular hashtags.
(There was one guy that had at least three linkbots that each posted the same links within minutes of each other. I guess he could have done manual copy-pasting, but that would be boring, repetitive, and error-prone. I finally blocked him. I guess I need to do the same for Tuxmachines and similar linkbots.)
@moon@shitposter.club Is releasing a series of "Masters of the Fediverse" #NFTs and the first one will be @schestowitz ... which is why I asked if he was even still here.
His volume of posts on #Diaspora was so high that I finally had to unsubscribe from the #Linux hashtag. If I recall correctly, he posts a link, then one of his sites posts the link, then another site posts the link ... all camped out on the Linux hashtag.
